I will RT this every time. Sound up!!

In Ojibwe our word for flower is waskoneh (wa-sko-neh). Art by @mishiikenhkwe.

it's notable to me that the administration tried to frame tonight's UFC event as a "gift to Americans" but you can't watch it unless you have a paid subscription to Paramount

We need more photography on 𝕏!📸 If you agree, post a picture! 📸🫡 @VijayEllaurie

#LeMans24 disaster, 1955 🕯️ This sporting tragedy is the most catastrophic accident in motor racing history. Pierre Levegh's Mercedes crashed and blew up at high speed, killing Levegh and sending debris flying in to the crowd. 83 people were killed and 120 others injured...

Last year's iceberg season on Twillingate Island had a few memorable ones, but this giant was hard to ignore. The best backyard view in Newfoundland.

Dude he literally running New York like the average joe in a movie who gets elected into office as a gag and then fixes everything simply because he is not a politician and an earnest regular guy.

Gradient light will always make me stop and swoon! It's beautiful and dreamy... 🤩

I am 83 years old, I will die. The cause of death is birth. The only real things in life are food and love, in that order, just like our little dog Ruby. I really believe this and the source of art is love. I love life. ~ David Hockney

Anza Borrego well after sunset That mesa you see on the right is Fonts Point and it's an amazing place to watch a sunset.

Big Boy from another angle! Better view of the bridge, long view of 4014!

J'ai toujours été convaincu que Hockney c'était Van Gogh sans absinthe.

It's the middle of June. Is it too late to plant flowers? No. Not even close. Here's the thing about perennials: the first season isn't about the show so much as it is about the roots. There's an old gardener's line for it: the first year they sleep, the second year they creep, the third year they leap. A native perennial you put in the ground this week spends all summer and fall digging in, building a root system down where you can't see it, and comes back next spring stronger. So plant the tough natives now. These shrug off heat and want full sun: - Black-eyed Susan, which may even bloom for you this year. - Purple coneflower, a pollinator magnet that feeds goldfinches all winter. - Butterfly weed, the native milkweed monarchs actually need. It loves warm soil, so now is perfect. - Bee balm, if you want hummingbirds. - Blazing star and coreopsis, both tough as nails. - Goldenrod and asters, which bloom in fall, so you might get color out of them this very season. There's exactly one rule for planting in summer heat: water them plenty. This first season, while the roots are still shallow, give them a good soak a couple times a week through the hot stretches. Once they're rooted in, you can walk away and they'll fend for themselves for years. So no, you're not too late. You're right on time for the plant that comes back.

The hotel that JJ Watt put us up in gave us a tour of their biggest suite. It costs $150,000 a night. Completely insane. It even had its own basketball court.😭

Ok but also somehow that’s the most American way to do it.

If I ever ended up a billionaire, and do not hold your breath waiting... I make comics for a living, remember? I’d like to think I’d be one of the constructive ones. First move: animal shelters ... real infrastructure, real solutions, not just photo‑op donations. Really help those lovely animals any way I could. Then I’d start buying land for public parks the way private equity buys strip malls, except my endgame is shade, trails, and green space for everyone. No one doesn't love a beautiful park. We need more. Next, I’d build a museum fund so every town can celebrate its own artists...the known, the forgotten, and the ones still figuring it out. Imagine going cross country and discovering beauty in each place. After that, I’d go on a global shopping spree for rainforest and wild land just to keep it out of the hands of people who see nature as a demolition opportunity. And when the accountants start warning me I’m running out of zeroes, I’d make one last move-a pharma company that sells medicine for almost nothing and pressures everyone else to do the same. Lead by example and pressure the greed out of the others. Then, with whatever’s left, I would get myself a new car. Something new and electric.

The Tartan Army are a credit to Scotland. Here they are in full voice singing ‘Loch Lomond’ in Boston Stadium last night for the World Cup match between Scotland and Haiti. Absolutely glorious.

I’ve never been more certain Kilauea produced a tornado, specifically a hybrid volcanic landspout than just 40 minutes ago! @USGSVolcanoes @NWSHonolulu #hiwx #wx #volcano #tornado
